    What I can't understand is why people don't want their problems solved. We all humans do seek comfort and it's okay. But at the end of the day... You must think through and work towards a solution so you won't get uncomfortable in the future. Many people in the society are uncomfortable by choice and it's ridiculous.

    An Artist that I think does an amazing job of expressing who he is, is DPR Ian. I think he was labeled as ISFP with us. He is a good representation of what our personality is like.

    About the 3rd point. Don't tell that ISFP or anyone else are too much or not enough of something, as you say that they're not confident enough about what they think. I would say that you're generalizing your personal experience to the whole ISFP's. And even if they have such trait I think they have their own reasons for that based on their personality and how they see the world and interract with it. I personally love ISFP's the way they are and think that they're perfect and never too much or not enough of something. Just like every type of personality.

    1. A coworker at a cafe asked if I had OCD because I wanted the pitchers and blenders in a certain order 2. I’m pretty indecisive so often listen to other people’s opinions, but I do know when I’m uncomfortable and will leave. 3. This is true! I think deeply about the other’s person’s situation, but why I usually respond with makes it awkward or so broad.

    I am an INTJ and a dungeon master for D&D. But I have a small bone to pick with you (but nothing is small to us). Do not ever refer to D&D as a board game. Board games (or as I call them, bored games) are a set of repetitive tasks designed within the confines of a board, or a set of rules and pieces, and cannot be anything except that. It’s like a train cannot run where there are no tracks. Even modern complicated/convoluted bored games like Gloomhaven cannot operate outside of what it’s been designed for. Plus there’s never any point of them. You play for the sake of playing. There’s no evolution of story. There’s no room to tell your own stories. If it comes with a story it’s exactly prescribed and printed in the manual. D&D on the other hand has no limits. It’s much more akin to “make believe” except adults are not shamed for enjoying it. There are rules, yes, an element of consistency is required to ensure everyone is playing the same make believe. But as a DM, I can do anything and everything, outside of the players. Any type of stories. Any length of game. Create any character, any scenario. The only limit is one’s imagination. And that’s really how an INTJ mind operates. We are not held back by limits. After being a DM I don’t enjoy being a player anymore.

    ✋Nature loves Courage🤚 "You make the commitment and Nature will respond to that by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the World will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed." ~Terence McKenna (Food of the Gods)

    What personality type are you? I used to think I was an INFJ, but as I took more quizzes and understood the cognitive functions - I realized I was an INTJ. Being present is extremely difficult for this type. But when you do master meditation and being present as an INTJ - it is extremely therapeutic.

    I feel like this is one of those “in theory but not in practice things.” People think they want honesty from another person but in reality when you actually are an honest person, many people end up not being able go handle your honesty or disliking you. Meanwhile a lot of people who are good at lying or manipulating others and being dishonest end up being well-liked by everyone around them. Been in so many environments where this plays out. Even in dating scenarios, people say they want honesty but when they meet an honest person they cannot take it. Many actually prefer those who tell them what they wanna hear, instead of what they need to.

    Yes, paradoxically I get what you’re saying here. As I had said in the video - the honesty that I’m attempting to convey here is the Self-ownership and settling into the self aspect. But yes, definitely a lot of people get ahead through disingenuous means.

    Ah, you see that's actually a feature, not a bug. You certainly *can* lie and manipulate your way to approval in the short term, but it is exhausting and demoralizing to keep up thr act forever. The more you do it, the more you subconsciously recognize that the people in your life are there because they love the mask, not you. This can lead to all sorts of emotional problems- fear, shame, resentment, loneliness. Other people might not know, but you will. It can also lead to relational problems as you'll drive away people who value honesty and authenticity and bring in other people who value lying and cheating to get what they want, cause that's what you're doing too. Worse still, you can't reach out for support with all of those negative emotions you're racking up, cause to do so would reveal that you've basically been conning them to love you (weirdly, people who value lying and cheating to get what they want only appreciate it when *they* do it 🤔) On the flip side, when you're honest and authentic, you *will* drive some people away. This is a good thing because the people you drive away are the people who don't like or can't handle who you really are. This sounds bad, but it is actually an excellent filter to discover which people who do want to be with the real you. The realer you are, the more polarizing you become, and the easier it is to see who your real friends are

  • @Vgallo
    @VgalloАй бұрын

    I think your misunderstanding the kind of honesty he's talking about, authentic people who are good at connections can discern when people want honesty and when they need encouragement, and or building up, a very self aware person for example would have a higher threshold for honesty about themselves, whereas someone who's less self aware would have a lower threshold, regardless though being honest has much wider applications than just being brutally honest with others. he actually gives a good definition of this around 11:00, although I would pushback on his version of good actually being very similar to what Jesus encourages, so despite him saying its not protestant it is still very christian in principle.

    You can be honest and well liked. There's just a line between honesty and rudeness. If you are both honest and well manered you will be liked by true jenuine people who apreciate it. Only the nasty ones who don't like being called out on their bs won't like you

    Your second point may explain why I feel like the quarter-life crisis I started struggling with in my mid-twenties never really went away and has instead blended and morphed into the mid-life crisis I'm now facing in my early 40's. I'll need to think on this quite a bit...

    I can't speak for other INFJs, but I know I tend to attend to other's emotions because I grew up in an environment where everyone had *ZERO* skill, energy or inclination to regulate their emotions. This was absolute *hell* for someone who absorbs the emotional energy of others whether they wanted to or not and is fundamentally unable to remove themselves from the situation. Putting other's emotional needs above my own was often a matter of psychic survival, as well as a roundabout attempt at moving towards my own need for calm and quiet. It rarely worked, of course, and unfortunately, though I am now in a somewhat better environment, the defense habits are still there and I don't know how to adjust them.

    I found the first very true, especially when house hunting surprisingly. Everything is about how I or it feels to me. If I was not bonded to the image of the house or an environment, or it gave a whiff of 1% negative feeling it was out. Feeling things deeply is a blessing and a curse!

  • @LST0202
    @LST02022 ай бұрын

    main points (sorry i wanted take notes while watching and refer back to this when i rewatch this video T_T): 1. INFP is influenced through intuition with their environment, but ISFP is grounded and influenced through their physical environment/living spaces. so ISFP are stubborn about their own way of doing things or how they place things in their living spaces because it only feels right to them when done their way. 2. ISFP knows what is the magic/beauty they want in things/life, but they prefer to approach this process in their own pace. Other people rushing them makes them uncomfortable, they prefer marching to their own beat in their approaches to decisions/life. 3. ISFP hear people's stories and have the ability to feel the deep emotions the other person could have experienced (empathy?). But they struggle to communicate/express back that they understood those deep emotions to the other person. This is due to a lack of confidence/trust/awareness in their ability to express their emotions to others. Could be a fear of showing emotions? A lack of understanding/identifying/communicating their deep emotions? Instead, they give a generalised/surface level response to the other person. Making it appear as if the ISFP doesn't fully care/empathize with the person, which is not the case. Only highly intuitive people (INFP) can read between the lines of an ISFP's response to know they did understand and empathize with the story they shared, despite the ISFP's seemingly unemotional/unempathetic words. 4. ISFP's struggle with understanding/communicating their deep emotions can cause them to have a identity crisis. They need to be more aware, confident, and trusting of their abilities and be less fearful of showing emotions or being a perfect ideal to the public. They can express their emotional depth through artistic pursuits (art, dance, music) or communication (writing, poems, speaking) or home design (home decor, organizing of spaces). This is a method for them to understand their identity more. 5. I love how clear and easy to understand your video was , i used to be INFP when young but now i have more clarity in being aware and understanding my thoughts, feelings, and communication. I retook MBTI test and got ISFP and finally it feels more right and at place <3

    I love this SO MUCH! Thank you for the beautifull things you said and how well you tried to explain everything. It made me feel so proud and appreciated for the way that I am😊Thank you! I'm proud to be an ISFP and I can TOTALLY relate. I don't know how to completely express the way I'm thinking but I can say that YES I do something if I feel connected to it. I like to feel what I'm doing. In a way I am grounded with the way that things and actions affect my state of being. I like to feel deeply the beauty in little things of our life. For example I feel such a deep connection with our nature, a feeling I can't explain but it makes me feel like home. I love drawing when I want to express the way I'm feeling and I want others to understand the beauty of that feeling that I had. Even if I feel good or bad, I think it's so beautifull that we can FEEL in general and CREATE. I truly think that creating unique things comes from our unique feelings. The best way in which someone can be unique is by listening to their soul because there is no other soul like ours. And the fact that I can express the beauty of my feelings and encourage others to realize and feel that too makes me so happy and fullfilled. I love helping others and making them happy with who they are and helping them follow their own heart.
